The North American Fetal Therapy Network Consensus Statement: Management of Complicated Monochorionic Gestations.

Abstract

The North American Fetal Therapy Network is a consortium of 30 medical institutions in the United States and Canada with established expertise in fetal therapy and other forms of multidisciplinary care for complex fetal disorders. This publication is the third in a series of articles written by NAFTNet about monochorionic pregnancies. In this article, we provide the general obstetric practitioner with information regarding management options available for complications of monochorionic gestations. This information may be useful for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the various conditions, for better patient counseling, for timely referral to a regional treatment center, and for ongoing comanagement after treatment.
